In this season of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the late Eunice Kennedy Shriver and her remarkable vision that created the Special Olympics. And I am grateful for the thousands of folks who work to keep that dream alive.

I recently attended the Special Olympics Arizona Breakfast With Champions, part of a sellout crowd of 650. A good friend invited me, and what a gift that invitation turned out to be. This was the most moving event I have attended in many years.
